Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. - Eastern Region

Culture for Service. Service for Humanity Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity is an international association that has become a legacy of excellence.

The lineage of greatness began on January 9, 1914 with the three noble founders: Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard
F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown on the campus of Howard University,
Washington, DC. These proud men formed a chain of esteemed scholars
striving to make a difference in society through the principles of brotherhood,
scholarship and service. The diversity of thei

r membership was the unique attraction to Sigma. With
Culture for Service and Service for Humanity as their motto, the Brotherhood was
able to advance a variety of human causes, including civil and equal rights and
service to America's communities. Inclusion, rather than exclusion, was the
ethical foundation of Sigma's membership. Decade after decade, Phi Beta
Sigma has captured within its ranks great men of America's history. The Sigma
Scroll inscribes names of achievement in the areas of education, science,
medicine, law, business, politics, fine arts, civil rights and sports. Sigmas are
men of vision, men of culture, men of service and men of leadership. Nearly 100 years later and with over 150,000 members initiated, the Brotherhood
has evolved into one of the nation's oldest African American institutions. Sigma men are the high achievers, movers and shakers of their times. Membership in Sigma has its privileges: professional development, systematic approach to organizational planning, progressive and innovative programs, leadership development, first-class social functions, an opportunity for community involvement and an international network of life-long friendships."

🟧 National Gun Violence Awareness Day | June 5ᵗʰ

Gun violence impacts families, neighborhoods, and communities long after headlines fade.

Ways to participate:
🟧 Wear Orange

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Memorial Day reminds us of what truly matters: sacrifice, service, family, community, and the responsibility we have to live with purpose and gratitude.

We remember those we have lost, we honor their legacy, and we thank their loved ones for the sacrifices they continue to carry.

May we never forget.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters, caregivers, and mother figures across the Mighty Eastern Region. 💙

The men we are today are because of the love, sacrifice, wisdom, and strength poured into us by the women who raised, supported, guided, and believed in us. Their impact continues through the families we lead, the communities we serve, and the next generation we help shape.

Today, we also hold space for those grieving mothers who are no longer here physically, but whose love and legacy continue to live within us every day.

To the mothers of the Eastern Region, we see you, appreciate you, and are thankful for you.

Happy Mother’s Day.
